How do you wire a three phase motor if none of the wires are idetified?

If it is a three lead 3-phase motor, it is easy: connect the incoming three leads randomly to the three leads on the motor (one to one) so that there are a total of three splices. The motor will run but possibly in reverse If it runs in reverse, switch any two of the three splices ---- If the motor has more than three leads, and they are not marked, it is much more difficult. You will have to have a working knowledge of how to test the leads and compare the results with the information given on the nameplate

How do you change rotation on a Century AC motor?
There are two alternate methods depending on whether the motor is single phase or three phase. On a single phase motor, reverse either the start winding coil lead or the run winding coil lead but not both. This action will reverse the motor's rotation. On a three phase motor, interchanging any two of the three coil leads will reverse the motor's rotation.
Can you hook up only 2 of the 3 phase lines to a breaker switch to use as a on off switch for 3 phase paint booth motor?
In single phase applications, you have two wires. One of these is "hot", meaning it has an AC voltage applied to it. The other is not - it is directly tied to ground or the system neutral. In three phase power, all three wires are "hot", and use the other wires as the return path under balanced conditions. Because of this you cannot do what you are proposing and have a safe setup. Isolating only two of the three wires still leaves one "hot".
If a motor has 3 red wires and 3 black wires coming from the windings what phase is it?
It would help to know the voltage of the motor. See related links below for motor connections.
How many wire or core in three phase electrical connection and single-phase electrical connection?
A single-phase cable will have a line and a neutral conductor and, possibly, but not necessarily, an earth (ground) conductor. A high-voltage three-phase cable will have three line conductors. A low-voltage three-phase cable is likely to have three line conductors and a neutral conductor.
Why you use only single phase and three phase supply?
Single phase requires 2 wires - a hot, and a return (both wires of the same size. Three phase requires three (same size), and if it is grounded will require a forth (doesn't normally carry current so it can be small). Two phase requires three wires (two phase conductors of one size, and a return that can handle double the current of the phase conductors), or four wires (same size for all, effectively two separate single phase supplies). It isn't economical is the bottom line. It costs ~the same (in wire) for two phase as three, and you get 50% more power delivering capability with three phase.
To reverse the rotation of a three phase motor you would?
Switch two of the three wires.
How many earth wires are required for single phase motor?
There is only one ground wire needed on any motor, single or three phase.
Looking for a connection wiring diagram for 30 HP 3 phase 380 volt motor?
The connection wiring diagram is usually on the inside of the motor's junction box cover. If the motor has three wires at the junction box then these wires are connected to the three incoming supply wires. If there is more than three wires, check the motor's nameplate to see if the motor is a dual voltage motor.
What happens when you connect a 110 volt motor to 220 volts?
On a three wire supply system if you connect the two 110V wires together and they are across the phase they will short out and trip the breaker. If the two 110V wires are supplied from across the phase and connected to a motor then the motor will run. If the 110V wires are on the same phase nothing will happen.
How do you reverse a three phase air conditioning unit?
Any three phase motor can be reversed in rotation by inter changing any two of the motor's incoming feed conductors. For example connect the motor winding wires to L1, L2, L3 and the rotor turns clockwise in rotation. Connect the same motor to L3, L2, L1 or L2, L1, L3 or L1, L3, L2 and the rotor turns counter clockwise. As you can see any combination of the two wires will reverse the rotors rotation.
How can you determine if a electric motor is 1 phase or 3 phase if there is no name plate?
Check the motor's terminal box. If there are three service input cables - such as red, yellow and blue - plus an earth wire, then it is a three phase motor. If there are only two wires plus an earth wire, then it is single phase.

What is done to revers direction of a three phase electric motor?
To reverse direction, swap any two hot wires.
How many wires come in from the weather head?
If single phase - 2 wire service > two wires If single phase - 3 wire service > three wires If three phase - 3 wire service > three wires If three phase - 4 wire service > four wires US residential service is usually single phase 3 wire service: Two hots and neutral.
How direction of a split phase motor can be reversed?
reverse wires
How do you wire a three phase motor with two speed to a three phase power supply lead numbers not specified?
There are many types of winding on a two speed three phase motor. The number of wires from the motor should have been stated. This is a guess that the motor is a six lead. The diagram is for a six lead out two speed, one winding, single voltage constant horsepower motor.See sources and related link below
A three phrase circuit has how many hot wires?
Three wires carry the three phase energy.
